Seguin is heading back to Boston, his Swiss league club announced Friday. He will complete his obligation to Canada's team in the Spengler Cup tournament before heading west.

Seguin decided not to renew his contract with EHC Biel, according to the team. His pact expires Monday.

"We would like to thank him for 25 goals," the team stated, "and wish him all the best!"

Bruins teammate Patrice Bergeron also will end his Swiss time after the Spengler Cup. Bergeron has been with Lugano.

Bergeron believes the NHL lockout will end soon — talks are about to restart — and wants to be ready in North America if negotiations on a collective bargaining agreement are successful.

Earlier, defenseman Andrew Ference announced he was leaving HC Mountfield of the Czech league to return home. In November, goalie Tuukka Rask left HC Plzen of the Czech league. Forwards Chris Kelly and David Krejci also packed up and left Europe.

At 20, Seguin is a rising NHL star. He got those 25 goals in 29 games, and had 15 assists. His 40 points put him third in Swiss league scoring, behind NHL journeyman Glen Metropolit (43) and leader Damien Brunner (53).

The Spengler Cup is an annual tournament that includes five teams from European leagues and a Canadian squad. This year's Canada entry is bolstered by locked-out NHL players. The team lost its first game but won its second and has reached the tournament semifinals.

Seguin has a goal for the Canadian squad, in its first game. In that match, Buffalo Sabres forward Jason Pominville scored in overtime for Alder Mannheim of the German league. Bruins defenseman Dennis Seidenberg plays for Mannheim.
